President Trump acknowledges, for the first time, that he repaid his attorney Michael Cohen at least $100,000.
That's according to the ethics disclosure signed by the president.
It renews questions about Trump's ties to porn star Stormy Daniels and about the payment Cohen made to her of $130,000.
The disclosure underscores the inconsistency of explanations by Trump and aides.
It happened before the presidential election to buy her silence over an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006.
